The landline is 60mins max then you get charged so hangup.
We dont use anyway.
 
We only have broadband from virgin as we done away with landline and after threatening to leave and giving them a cancelation date they then done it for 22 quid a month
 
I pay about £35 for unlimited 5G access on my phone with the option to tether to my laptop. Yeah, it only makes sense if you live alone though.
 
I pay £27, for 150/150Mbps, fibre, plus landline, not TV - no need, there is already more than enough TV. YouFibre.
 
I pay £29 per month with Toob for 1000 Mbps upload & download. No landline, tv currently with sky but will drop it once contract ends.
 
Way too much to be paying.
Broadband at 1gb can be obtained from many sources, the tv is sheite (imo sky tv is better) and the phone line is totally unnecessary - I bet you use your mobile more.
 
Well, went to cancellation and after various questions of whys and wherefores of why I was cancelling they gave me the same deal but reduced to average of £46/month for 2 years, don't need the phone but it was included in the package, probably more hassle to them to disconnect it than leaving it running, will have to se what happens in 2 years when it is due to revert to "proper price" of £124/month
 
1 gig fibre with Virgin, no TV or landline £29/month.
 
I'm having a go at 3's 5g broadband (no landline).

Had Sky for donkeys' years, £42/month for broadband and a land line, no Sky tv. About 35 Mbit, in a poor coverage area.

Current system has an external 'signal collector' on an upstairs window cill, jammable cable through the window frame to the router. Now I'm getting 100+ Mbit for £21/month for 6 months, up to £23 after. I'm about 3 months in, and apart from having to shift around the house to get the best coverage- all good. We tested by streaming films on 3 tellies, a mac and a phone. All good. 30 or 60 day give back period, can't recall which.
